Cousin Power! While the kids and I were in Utah this summer, we spent a lot of time with cousins. My mom and dad have 14 grandchildren between the ages of 17 (almost 18) and under a year. Sadly, not all of the grandkids were together at the same time (we had one group of 12 together at the beginning of the summer, and then at the end of the summer, we had 13 together!). Here are just a few of our random big-group gatherings.
And if any of you heard me mention the craziness of having 16 people living in the same house, here’s a peek into one of our last meals together (and, yes, there were more than 16 of us there that night!). I made Cafe Rio sweet pork in the crock pot, whipped up some cilantro lime rice in the rice cooker, and chopped up some fresh pico de gallo (which I’ll be sharing the recipe for shortly). It was one of the best dinners of the summer!
Can you tell that these kids are all related?!

Things can get crazy with that many people together at one time but sure can be lots of fun too. So nice that many cousins got to spend some time together, love the great pics.

Oh I miss my cousins, we used to spend our whole summers with them.

Cousins are the best! (My post today is about cousins, too. How about that?!)
